Help - sat at my desk f&*@ing seething

Help, am in an absolute fury and don't know what to do.

I am freelance and working on a project at the moment. I am responsible for bringing the business in, and managing the relationship of the client. I am also supposed to have some kind of editorial responsibility for the project.

The manager of the project is a bit of a control freak (the MD of the company). There is quite a tight deadline and it's all been a bit stressful.

Anyway, I am currently in the office and went to ask a question to find him, and another member of staff (complicated relationship but we are supposed to be working together/job sharing) sitting with the technical team reviewing the project. Proper, final editorial review.

I have deliberately been excluded (he knew I was here and specifically asked me to get on with some other more minor project).

I am fucking furious, so essentially it will be sent off to the client without me seeing it.

What shall I do? Tensions are a bit high so I don't want to look like the drama queen having a hissy fit in the corner but I am so angry I might cry.

He sounds like a prat.

Well done for keeping your cool (as much as possible) and staying assertive. What field do you work in?

Another freelancer here.

Glad you got him to backtrack - completely unacceptable to downplay your input like that.

Sounds like a lot of politics going on. Is he trying to big up his involvement to build a direct relationship with your client?
